How often do you guys play? cause i live in the US (eastern time zone) and i dont wanna join and not be able to play with anybody (being as im new to it and not very good) lol.

I'm on pretty much every day and I tend to play 11pm-1am GMT. I'm sometimes on during the day if I've got time but usually no later than 1am. And the time I play, the Canadians are usually on so a few of us tend to be on at that time.

See if you can join us for a few games though, would be fun

what's your merc name?

my merc name is the same as here Kawaiius..i just applied to join lol.

Looking to join a laid back group that is active. Are you guys still taking on new members? I have played with Bill the Noon a few times...the corp I am in currently at best has 5 people online at once. I play typically 8-12est time so how does your turn out look during that time? I still have 5 hours left before I can leave my corp but will be doing so tonight. I love this game but it sucks playing solo.

well, you have come to the right place

most of our members are active on the forums as well as dust, so it shouldn't be too hard to meet up with people, im pretty sure those times you provided are our busiest times though. so no problems there

Look forward to playing with the both of you trust me we've got some good guys to play with that are on regularly.

I'm pretty sure I've played against Memphis once or twice? You're a heavy right? But yeah man, I'm east coast as well, so we should be on at the same time quite bit. Looking forward to playing with ya.

been in ambush all day using the laser rifle and it only compounds how much work it needs. my eyes are sore damnit!!!
dat fps is low! CCP should do us a solid and remove some of the FX so that we can play it proper.

to justify that, looking at 30fps after playing dust is like watching silk fall

Haha it's what you get for using a laser rifle. Those things kill me so quick!

Don't worry, I still do noobish things lol. I'm going to be playing for the next few hours if you're around.

Edit: My ps3 isn't working as when I try to sign into PSN it has just started freezing everytime so I won't be online until I can fix this. Hope it isn't a major issue

[FONT=Verdana]
jaja, i run away from the laser rifle and im not afraid to say it
in our little head to head duboi utterly thrashed me with his laser rifle. mine needs some work

i also got that bug, when i signed in the system became unresponsive. luckily its only happened the once though.

Haha yeah it's ridiculous.

It won't stop happening and it's only started today can't sign in at all without it freezing. I'm going to try a complete restore of my ps3 once I've done a backup. I seriously hope that fixes it.

Typical though as I set aside most of today just to play DUST...lol.

Edit: Ahhhhhh there wasn't a problem at all. I just had to renew my account with my ISP and now it is working. Tbh I didn't think to check if it was connected to the internet because it just froze so I thought it was a system issue...feel stupid now lol but glad it's working!

Nice. I think it took me Twp days to reinstall/download login due to schedule. But I had a good scare because my character disappeared. Almost crudded my pants. Didn't think to check if I was logged in to the right account on the PSN.

So there's going to be some big lore event today (supposedly) which is basically a battle for Caldari Prime. Rumor is that's what that leaked skybox with the crashed Titan in the background is part of. I guess it's currently orbiting the planet (and is/might get shot down) and the Gallente are kind of pissed at Tibus Heth and the Caldari so they're going to try and re-take/invade the planet (or something like that). Anyway, might jump back on today for this if I can, and hopefully help the Gallente win.

So there was a dev blog about new equipment that briefly came out today and was quickly removed. They said it would be posted a couple hours later, but never was. Anyway, someone saved the text and here it is for anyone who's interested.

Equipment Is Your Friend

Success on the battlegrounds of DUST 514 is about more than just who has the biggest gun. Equipment plays a vital part in defining the role you play on the battlefield. Fit a nanite injector to your assault type II dropsuit and you’re a front line medic, resurrecting your fallen team mates. Fit a repair tool and you become a combat engineer, repairing damaged dropsuits and vehicles as well as giving your squad active armor repair during a firefight.

The fondly nicknamed ‘logibro’ logistics dropsuits are of course the kings of battlefield equipment usage. With more equipment slots than any other dropsuit class they can carry multiple equipment types making them incredibly useful squad mates. A Logistics A-Series can for example, resupply his squad with nanohives, provide tactical spawn locations with drop uplinks and keep them fighting fit with a repair tool.

It’s been really interesting to see what types of equipment have been the most popular during the Beta so far. In first place we have the ever popular Nano Hive with an epic 106,537,393 units purchased for ISK! Following this we then have repair tools, remote explosives and lastly drop uplinks, but even together they couldn’t topple the mighty Nano Hive having collectively sold 104,913,684 units. If you check out the graph below you can see the relative popularity as well as the massive spike when we opened up the Beta floodgates.

So you know that there are a bunch of new weapons rolling off the New Eden production lines in the next update but what about equipment? Well, we’re planning on reintroducing the Active Scanner. Some of the veteran Beta players may remember it’s rather buggy first appearance (followed by rapid disappearance) last year during the closed testing. We’ve taken some time to retool it’s functionality, add new HUD elements and feedback mechanisms so soon it will be back, new and improved! The scanner is a powerful squad support tool, your enemies will have nowhere to hide as you scan and transmit their positions to your squad mates. I expect to see a rise in the popularity of profile dampener modules once the new scanners roll out as people try to mask their signals.

A-45 Linear Active Scanner

Sending out a triggered pulse of high-frequency magnetometric waves and interpreting the results with an uplinked onboard computer, the Active Scanner gives ground units a snapshot of enemy positions. Projection nodes set at specific angles on the hand-held device, generate a vectored impulse capable of extracting objects from high-noise environments. Feedback from the pulse is filtered to reduce ambient clutter and pinpoint targets lacking IFF signals.

Though the amount of energy required to produce the blast is much greater than its on-board power source can readily generate, the Active Scanner makes use of redundant J-24 micro-capacitors to circulate and build the charge up to the required output. The resulting delay between activations is a small price to pay for the enormous tactical advantage the device provides its user, even considering that the amount of sensor backscatter generated reveals the user to all nearby enemies at the same time it is detecting their positions.

So that’s what you can expect in the next update, but what about beyond that? There are two equipment items on the top of our list that we want to get in to the game as soon as we can. The first is a Shield Generator. Ever wished for some cover where there isn’t any? Wish no more, with the shield generator you’ll be able to deploy your own personal static shield bubble. Pretty handy when a ship is dropping bombs on your head from orbit or you’ve been caught in the open by an enemy trying to melt you with a laser rifle.

The second item is a Cloaking Field. This sneaky bit of kit will not only make you (almost) invisible to other combatants, it will also blind turret AI targeting systems. It isn’t perfect invisibility, scanners will still pick you up if you haven’t masked your signal well enough, motion will disrupt the field to some extent and weapon fire will cause the field to shut down. This means it will take some skill to use to its maximum potential. This item is going to be a real game changer, particularly for Scout dropsuits which have been screaming out for stealth gear.

There are quite a few more items on our list as always (one begins with a w) but I think that’s all we’ll be revealing for now.
